Nice review as has been every single review I've read or seen thus far on the new C205 C63S Coupe 
However I'm still waiting and checking every week to see when reviews are going to start coming out of a proper C63S Coupe vs M4 Comparison

Yes it will get interesting and no doubt heated up, over at Phillip Island not that long ago there were several Aussie head to head comparos done with the M4 and my MB insider tells me in his words "it convincingly smashed the M4 in most regards"
That may or may not be the case but one things for certain whatever BMW do to raise the bar from here on AMG will better it with their next release, I'm sure the mid life updated C63's will be far more potent than the current iteration 
Thanks for this vid already seen it and boy that M4 sounds like crap...but still waiting for all the proper comparisons and reviews to surface

Very pleased that EVO have said the comfort ride is fine (if even a little too soft) for UK roads. They must have made some serious changes over the saloon.

The M4 is a great car but according to most accounts, whilst the handling has been improved on the competition pack car the ride is also firmer. From your desciption it sounds like Mercedes have really sorted the coupe.

It makes sense that the Coupe would ride better than the sedan because of its unique rear suspension.
That unique rear suspension on the C63 Coupe will also be used on the upcoming AMG E63's -- so it definitely seems to be engineered and built to handle more weight and power than that of the rear suspension setup in the C63 Sedan.

I believe it shares the front suspension components with the C63, but the rear suspension is still exclusive to the the C63 Coupe.
